- Patented Oct. 16, 1906.

Appnmim fil d November 20,1905. Serial Nazsazsz- Be it known that I, WILLIAM JAMES TOOLEY, a subject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, and a resident of North Norfolk, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in or Relating to Motor and other Cycles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to motor and other cycles or light road-carriages; and it consists in an improved construction of frame mounting are facilitated and whereby the l steering-gear is susceptible of less vibration.

In the accompanying drawings, illustrainvention, Figures 1 and 2 are respectively a side elevation and plan ofthe machine, while particularly intended to explain the construction of the steering mechanism. Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 3, but showing the position assumed by the front wheel when passing round a curve.

The frame comprises an upper member a, which is supported upon the front and the rearwheel axles, and two lower members I), re spectively suspended from the opposite sides of the upper member. Tothe lower members I) are attached the'seat-pillar c, which supports the seat d, and the pillar d, in which the steering-handle and mechanism is mounted. In the case of a motor-cycle the motor is also supported upon the lower members. The frame is supported upon the axle of the rear wheel ein the ordinary manner; but for supporting the front end thereof inrelation to 'the wheel f I attach to the upper member a two brackets a a, of segmental form and each provided with a curved groove a The axle f ofthe front wheel is a a in the brackets of a. cycle I connect the steering-rod d to the extremities of the axle f by meansof links (Z furnished at each extremity with ayroller or small wheel f adapted to engage the grooves For steering the pivoted to arms (1 attached to the rod (1.

The brackets a a, in which the rollersf are guided, are preferably arranged at such an angle that when the machine is passing round a curve the axle of the front wheel is tilted, as

shown in Fig. 4.

- In aframe constructed -as above described the weight to be carried being supported upon wheels is less susceptible to vibration than in a frame where theweight is supported member supported upon the front and rear axles and two lower members suspended from the upper member, the combination,

with the upper member, of two segmental brackets attached to said upper member and provided with curved grooves, an axle furnished with rollers for running on the curved grooves, and links connecting said axle with the steering-handle, substantially as and for .the purpose. set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the WILLIAM' JAMES TOOLEY. Witnesses:
